ROH Star Not Signing With WWE
According to a recent report, Ring of Honor star Silas Young was at this week’s episode of Monday Night RAW. This led to some rumors starting that Young could be signing with WWE.
That doesn’t appear to be the case. In the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer says that Young was offered a new ROH deal and he is expected to accept it. He was only at the show because his son is a big WWE fan and wanted to attend.
An NXT Call-Up That Is Being Discussed
On the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer says that Aleister Black is currently being discussed for a call-up from NXT to the main roster.
Why AJ Styles Was Removed From The MMC
Meltzer also noted that the reason why AJ Styles was replaced from the WWE Mixed Match Challenge is because they didn’t want him or Charlotte Flair taking a pinfall loss. Jeff Hardy replaced Styles and will likely be the one who gets pinned.
